What is the 24 Hour Kirtan Festival?

Featuring some of the world’s most respected Bhakti chanters, the festival is open to all. Scroll down to hear recordings from the first two years.

Currently confirmed artists are Madhava das (Switzerland), Ananta Govinda das (NYC), Acyuta Gopi devi (NYC), Gaura Vani das (Washington DC), Visvambhar das (Florida), Ajamila das (Toronto), Keshavacarya das (NYC) with many others about to confirm.

    Your kirtans are a breath of fresh air — pure, total awesomeness!! I see the effort that has gone into this website — the quality of photos, recordings and ofcourse Hare Krishna kirtans themselves. The dedication is nothing short of extraordinary.

  2. MC Yogi says:

    Wow!!! Watching these videos sent me straight into the arms of Shri Krishna. I’m so inspired by the outpouring of devotion that is beginning to swell in this country. Sending deep love to Gaura Vaniji, the Kindred crew and all the Lord’s devotees.

    In peace
